Band Intro



1978年10月31日、ミネソタ、セントポール、シヴィック・センター









Ladies and gentlemen. On the drums tonight, on the drums from England, give him a big hand, Ian Wallace. On the bass guitar, Jerry Scheff. On the keyboards, Alan Pasqua. All right, on the lead guitar, the most dangerous Billy Cross. On the rhythm guitar, a man from Bogota, Colombia. Doesn't speak any English. He gave up a career as a sports car driver to join this band. He's deaf but he plays his heart out. Ladies and gentlemen, give him a warm hand, Steven Soles. Billy Cross is the oldest member of this band, born in 1921. All right, on the violin, mandolin, sometimes lead electric guitar, the youngest member of this group, only fifteen years old, been with me five years. Doesn't smoke dope, drink whiskey or go out with women. Not really. He's pure musician all the way. Ladies and gentlemen, David Mansfield. On the tenor saxophone, a man who made many of Phil Spector’s records. Everybody remembers Phil Spector, right? Also, he used to play with Duane Eddy. The phenomenal Steve Douglas. All right, on the backup vocals tonight, on one side, my ex-girl friend, Jo Ann Harris, give her a warm hand. I love to eat and Jo Ann just hates to cook. anyway, in the middle, my current girlfriend, Helena Springs and on the other side my fiance'e, Carolyn Dennis. On the conga drums, from Detroit, the most amazing Bobbye Hall. All right, we gotta get out of here pretty soon. I hope we played something right tonight.

BjörnerStill On The Roadに日ごとのMCの内容が書かれている。ディランのアイ・スリー(後にThe Queens Of Rhythmと呼ばれる)バックグラウンド・ヴォーカルの紹介は毎回違う。誰かが幼なじみだったり、いとこだったりしている。
